Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Add the almond flour and egg to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, you can lightly dust your hands with almond flour when handling.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread the spinach and cheese filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Leave about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Carefully roll up the dough, starting from one of the shorter ends, to form a log. Use the parchment paper to help guide the roll if needed.
Cut the log into 8 equal slices and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Spinach and Cheese Pastry!
